The Belgian rock group Arid consists of vocalist/guitarist Jasper Steverlinck, guitarist David Du Pré, bassist Filip Ros, and drummer Steven Van Havere. The group's emotive alternative rock sound was spawned in 1996 when Steverlinck began collaborating with Du Pre while they were both involved in other bands. After leaving their other projects and recruiting Ros and Van Havere, Arid signed a deal with Double T Records in 1997. Their debut album, At the Close of Every Day, was released in Europe two years later and its critical acclaim won the group a gig opening for Counting Crows on their 2000 European tour, around the time that the album made its U.S. debut.

Oh it’s feeling kind of lonely now In the wintertime All of my life All of my life This secret I hold I don’t really want to hold you now Wasn’t love supposed to show me how? Oh it’s getting kind of lonely now In the wintertime Baby I know It’s all make-believe And they’re all just trying to make You see Baby you’ll fall into my arms And I will be holding you for charm You will be loved sent from above I don’t really know if we’re going To make it love And I’ve got to be all that you’ll be In the wintertime Won’t you be the one? Trying to hold on when love is gone I wonder how come
I wonder how come We never closed the deal I wonder how come You left me here to feel I wonder how come The birds no longer sing In their praise of your perfect Offering And why you’re just a day away From me And I am here And she broke my fall I wonder how come Your lips are ruby red And your heart’s always been set Like that I wonder how come I see it in your eyes And it comes to me as no surprise And why you’re just a day away From me And I am here Move your head
Baby all these tiring Things you do know Were they built to set and kill Your own vibe? Don’t you think it’s time? You move your head Along this rhythm now Ain’t no God gonna Get you out of this somehow Baby I’ve been strolling Along these hurting streets Don’t know what to throw away Or what to keep Don’t you think it’s time? You move your head Along this rhythm now Ain’t no God gonna Get you out of this burning house What is more? That is all Enough is less To grab it all Don’t you know that the rise Always comes to a fall Untill you’re gathered safely in Can you feel it slowly drag you down? Can you feel it turning you around? Don’t you think it’s time? You move your head Along this rhythm now Ain’t no God gonna Get you out of this burning house I wish I was all of that
You and that thing that you are That you are You and those things that you’re not That you’re not I wish I was all of that You and that thing that you are That you are You and those things that you’re not That you’re not I can feel the threads ripping away At my heart And I am down in the dark again I wish I was burning your skin I wish I knew the load that you’re in I have the toils bringing me down Stretched in this world Strewn all around Scattered in parts Lost in the dark My love This leaden heart Love reigh here in the realms Of pain I am growing older love I am growing colder love How long can love seize the fire? Restrain the sparks of our desires? Million lights
Night has fallen Curtains are drawn And I’ve been singing The same old song About How it feels To be lost and alone In a faraway place My love I see al million lights And they all blend Into the night Visions slip into view They all remind me of you And what it is you might be doing At the other end of the night Every country I go I travel the plane and open road As the sky unravels, the truth unfolds I’ve been looking in the eyes of love I see a million lights And they all blend Into the night Visions slip into view They all remind me of you And what it is you might be doing At the other end of the night

seven odd years Seven odd years and I’m resting my head down Seven odd years that can’t be turned around Seven odd years and I don’t know where to go I’m still roaming in your woods I’m still guessing why I never could Seven odd years and I must be going blind Seven odd years hang heavy on my mind Like the rolling of my tears And the dream where the heart never fears Oh, where the heart never fears Seven odd years and I must be going blind Seven odd years and time is on my mind And the fire beneath the stone Where your head lies my heart often goes Oh the heart often goes Oh the heart often goes To your life and to your flame And the ghost is crowded Like the game I’m playing Seven odd years and I’m living in the past Seven odd years and time is fading fast See the writing of your youth see the whole And the whole cuts right through Oh cuts right through And I just can’t go on And I just can’t go on And I just can’t go on The road I’m taking and the bond I’m breaking anymore Seven odd years and meet me down the line Seven odd years and you’d think I’d be doing fine But I’m still roaming in your woods I’m still guessing why I never had Anything the way I should
Mindless Mindless, mindless Weightless, falling Floating through all space and time Mindless, mindless Weightless, falling Floating through all space and time Lights are out You are gone This place becomes me White walls This empty hall Breathing My life is yours alone Here in this bottomless hole We are standing Lost souls like lost souls Lost souls lost souls Oh, lost souls No need to say goodbye No need to call there’s hope for all Baby it feels like a riot in the heart You can’t deny it And this time when the sun breaks It shimmers through with heartache Baby like the tears we’re falling Wash away the years I’m saying I would like to get through Summers like we used to I know this thing will fall through And I can never see you again Timeless, timeless Weightless, falling Through the days, the cracks in time I can see the world dissolving Spinning around and out of time We can’t put this off forever Got to make it work somehow But I can never find the right words Every time it comes around I can be your blind man leading Touch the very heart of you Everyone knows the feeling You cannot shake it off, can you

Substitute For Love
(Madonna Cover / Me And My Melody EP)
I traded fame for love Without a second thought It all became a silly game Some things cannot be bought Got exactly what I asked for Wanted it so badly Running, rushing back for more I suffered fools so gladly And now I find I've changed my mind The face of you Substitute for love Substitute for love Should I wait for you? Substitute for love Substitute for love I traveled round the world Looking for a home I found myself in crowded rooms Feeling so alone Had so many lovers Who settled for the thrill Of basking in my spotlight I never felt So happy The face of you Substitute for love Substitute for love Should I wait for you? Substitute for love Substitute for love No famous faces, far off places Trinkets I can buy No handsome stranger, heady danger Drug that I can try No Ferris wheel, no heart to steal No laughter in the dark No one night stand, no far off land No fire that I can spark The face of you Substitute for love Substitute for love Should I wait for you? Substitute for love Substitute for love No famous faces, far off places Trinkets I can buy No handsome stranger, heady danger Drug that I can try No Ferris wheel, no heart to steal No laughter in the dark No one night stand, no far off land No fire that I can spark The face of you Substitute for love Substitute for love Should I wait for you? Substitute for love Substitute for love This is my religion Marooned Out of the world today into your light tonight Let it all slip right through, let it all slide. Where would we be without our endorphins? Sleeping in corners and street-ends. In a haste and running I forgot to say the indifference is grabbing me. Where would we be without our endorphins? Sleeping in corners and street-ends. To the rescue, to the rescue of me and my friends, of me and my friends. The lady in red, she swallows my pride. There's no chance of victory tonight. Where would we be without our endorphins? Sleeping in corners and street-ends. To the rescue, to the rescue of me and my friends, of me and my friends. It's coming 'round, it's coming 'round, it's coming 'round to claim its ground. It's coming 'round, it's coming 'round, you will see. Out of your world today into the light tonight. Let it all slip right through, let it all slide. Out of your world today into the light tonight. Let it all slip right through, let it all slide. Where would we be without our endorphins? Sleeping in corners and street-ends. To the rescue, to the rescue of me and my friends. To the rescue, to the rescue of me and my friends, of me and my friends.

Killer Queen
( Freddie Mercury / Live )
She keeps Moet et Chandon In her pretty cabinet 'Let them eat cake' she says Just like Marie Antoinette A built-in remedy For Kruschev and Kennedy At anytime an invitation You can't decline Caviar and cigarettes Well versed in etiquette Extraordinarily nice She's a killer Queen Gunpowder, gelatine Dynamite with a laser beam Guaranteed to blow your mind Anytime Recommended at any price Insatiable an appetite Wanna try? To avoid complications She never kept the same address In conversation She spoke just like a baroness Met a man from China Went down to Geisha Minah Then again incidently If you're that way inclined Perfume came naturally from Paris For cars she couldn't care less Fastidious and precise She's a killer Queen Gunpowder, gelatine Dynamite with a laser beam Guaranteed to blow your mind Anytime Drop of a hat she's as willing as Playful as a pussy cat Then momentarily out of action Temporarily out of gas To absolutely drive She's a killer Queen Gunpowder, gelatine Dynamite with a laser beam Guaranteed to blow your mind Anytime Recommended at any price Insatiable an appetite Wanna try? You wanna try

Life on mars
( Live / David Bowie Cover )
It’s a god-awful small affair To the girl with the mousy hair But her mummy is yelling "No" And her daddy has told her to go But her friend is nowhere to be seen Now she walks through her sunken dream To the seat with the clearest view And she’s hooked to the silver screen But the film is a saddening bore For she’s lived it ten times or more She could spit in the eyes of fools As they ask her to focus on Sailors fighting in the dance hall Oh man! Look at those cavemen go It’s the freakiest show Take a look at the Lawman Beating up the wrong guy Oh man! Wonder if he’ll ever know He’s in the best selling show Is there life on Mars? It’s on America's tortured brow That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow Now the workers have struck for fame ‘Cause Lennon’s on sale again See the mice in their million hordes From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads Rule Britannia os out of bounds To my mother, my dog and clowns But the film is a saddening bore ‘Cause I wrote it ten times or more It’s about to be writ again And I ask her to focus on Sailors fighting in the dance hall Oh man! Look at those cavemen go It’s the freakiest show Take a look at the Lawman Beating up the wrong guy Oh man! Wonder if he’ll ever know He’s in the best selling show Is there life on Mars?
The masterplan
(Oasis)
Take the time to make some sense Of what you want to say And cast your words away upon the waves Bring them back with Acquiesce On a ship of hope today And as they fall upon the shore Tell them not to fear no more Say it loud and sing it proud And they... Will dance if they want to dance Please brother take a chance You know they're gonna go Which way they wanna go All we know is that we don't know What is gonna be Please brother let it be Life on the other hand won't let you understand Why we're all part of the masterplan I'm not saying right is wrong It's up to us to make The best of all things that come our way And all the things that came have past The answer's in the looking glass There's four and twenty million doors Down life's endless corridor Say it loud and sing it proud And they... Will dance if they want to dance Please brother take a chance You know they're gonna go Which way they wanna go All we know is that we don't know What is gonna be Please brother let it be Life on the other hand won't let you understand Why we're all part of the masterplan
